I had originally decided to invite you and other neighbors to enable a more inclusive process. However, it was brought to my attention that the Planning Commission had specifically directed staff to include only the Knights, Georgatos', one additional neighbor in support of the project-- decided to be Ms. Wensel, and the Knight's architect, Peter Shutts. Therefore, we have shortened the list accordingly, Also, what 1 have been told was that when the application was appealed to the Planning Commission, the neighbors were told that the Georgatos' had appealed and that others could appeal but that it wasn't necessary in temlS of getting the matter to the Commission. Obviously, we had no idea at that time that the Commission would eventually direct that further facilitation occur and that the participants in the neighborhood process would be limited. But that was their action, and staff needs to follow it. I understand that you and other neighbors may not agree to whatever is decided through the facilitation process. However, the matter will go to the City Council and you will able to express your comments at that time. Thanks, Jerry Iserson Director of Planning and Community Development 10/3/2006
